Taking place in the desolate sand dunes of Brazil, this film follows the life of 3 generations of women who, by fate, end up living in this land where escaped slaves also live, fighting the elements for survival. It shows how people can survive, even in the midst of tribulation, and make a life for themselves. Some special souls seem to be able to accept the blows in life, which often can cripple a person's capacity to want to survive. This story is about continued courage and hope: where seemingly everything around you is hopeless, one learns to see what is there to love and appreciate.
